Verified Guest from Wayne, NE US rated DoubleTree Suites by Hilton9 out of 10 on July 25, 2010

"The king bed was comfortable I could take it home. The only thing that I could complain about would be that there needs to be utensils and such, glasses a few plates in the kitchen, other places where we have stayed there were these items and it was great, If you bring things up to the room to eat, they are extras that you always seem to need. Other wise the stay was great, the breakfast was a good way to start the day out, plenty of things to choose from. The pool was abit over clorinated, my children had their skin burn from it and their eyes. Last time we stayed the same thing happened. I would recommend this hotel to others. Thanks for the stay"

"Overall my stay was positive, however it would have been nice to know that there would be a child's birthday party being held there that weekend. There were children everywhere, and we're not talking a few either. But other than that, things were good, and I would definitely stay there again, if I ever found myself back in Omaha."
